Where do we begin? We received our first email from Georgia Mae + Tyler on May 19, 2017. Almost TWO years ago. We can still remember reading the sweet words they shared with us in that first email about having a story that was near + dear to their hearts.

Georgia Mae shared how she had always prayed that her future husband would get to meet her dad, the most special man in her life...but, sadly, Georgia’s father passed away before she + Tyler had ever met. She shared that it was difficult for her to come to terms with the fact that her dad was never going to get to meet the man she was going to marry + build a life with. And that her future husband would never get to meet her dad. Except, God works in the craziest ways + little did she know that He had plans for the two of them to meet, after all.

I realized the other day that so many of our couples are high school sweethearts and I think that’s such a true reflection of WHO our couples are. Best friends who fall in love young + grow old together. Move on over, Nicholas Sparks, you seriously have nothing on our brides or grooms.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Maddie, of Otte Style, a well known fashion and life style blog here in Kentucky, + her fiance, Sam, met in high school through mutual friends + exchanged phone numbers with one another on MySpace. They have been together for nearly a decade.
